This is the sample code for parsing from xml.
first you creat a database to store the data from xml parsing…
just Try it..

dh.delete(Exampl.TABLE, null, null);
    try {
        DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
        Document doc = docBuilder.parse (istream);
    doc.getDocumentElement ().normalize ();
    System.out.println ("Root element of the doc is " + 
         doc.getDocumentElement().getNodeName());
    NodeList dblist = doc.getElementsByTagName("database");
    Element e = (Element) dblist.item(0);
    NodeList tab = e.getElementsByTagName("table");
    System.out.println(tab.getLength() + " Tabels");

    for(int k=0;k<tab.getLength();k++) {

        Element el = (Element) tab.item(k);
        NodeList col = el.getElementsByTagName("column");

        System.out.println("ID is " );
        System.out.println();
        System.out.println(el.getElementsByTagName("column").item(0).getTextContent());
        System.out.println(el.getElementsByTagName("column").item(1).getTextContent());

        Category .add(el.getElementsByTagName("column").item(0).getTextContent());
        subCategory .add(el.getElementsByTagName("column").item(1).getTextContent());


    }


}catch (Exception err) {
    err.printStackTrace();
}

    for (int j = 0; j < (Category .size()); j++) {
        ContentValues questionValues = new ContentValues();
        System.out.println(Category .get(j));
        questionValues.put("Category ", Category .get(j));
        questionValues.put("subCategory ", subCategory .get(j));


        dh.insert(Example.TABLE, null,
                questionValues);

    }


}
